Chris Cornell Wins Best Rock Performance at 2019 Grammys

Chris Cornell won the award for Best Rock Performance for "When Bad Does Good" at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. Cornell's children Chris Cornell Jr. and daughter Toni accepted the honor on the late singer's behalf.

“I never thought we’d be standing here without my dad. I’m sure he’d be proud and honored,” Chris Cornell Jr., who called his father “one of the greatest poets of his time.” “His voice was his vision and his music was his peace,” added Toni Cornell.

"Music's Biggest Night" is happening in Los Angeles tonight (Feb. 10), and it's airing on CBS at 8PM ET. A total of 84 golden gramophones will be handed out throughout the night. All rock categories were once again left out of the primetime telecast and were handed out during the pre-telecast.

The late Leonard Cohen's "You Want it Darker" took Best Rock Performance last year. Also in the rock realm in 2018, Mastodon earned their first Grammy Award after receiving several nominations in the past, winning the Best Metal Performance for the Emperor of Sand track "Sultan's Curse." Meanwhile, the Foo Fighters nabbed Best Rock Song in 2018 with "Run," The War on Drugs were awarded Best Rock Album for A Deeper Understanding.
